Changeable food


Making popcorn

This week Mckee class have looked at how some items of food and drink change. The class asked to learn more about sweetcorn and so they did. They also made corn on the cob pictures using real corn kernels to go in the "indoor garden". They then made and ate popcorn, with all but one child enjoying the taste of this treat.

Carle class continued the theme of treats by making milkshakes and drinking those. All sorts of fruits were chosen and blended with milk to make a tasty drink. The class enjoyed this activity and it's results!

Investigating tea

Mckee class finished off by learning about tea plants and then using their investigation skills to examine tea bags and tea leaves. They did not know that the leaves started off as "real green leaves". They were also surprised at the colour of "black tea" most claiming to have only seen tea with milk in.

  1. My daughter loved seeing all the fruit squash in the machine and getting to taste it afterwards. What a great idea!
